- E391: whisky review 327 – Octomore 05_1 — . . . at 169 ppm, this is regarded as the most heavily peated Scotch whisky ever produced. The peating level does not translate into phenolic power of flavour but rather phenolic c

- E394: whisky review 330 – GlenDronach 1993 19yo Single Cask 487 — . . . a very good 'craft produced' sherry-matured single malt scotch, proving oloroso is not always sugar-sweet confectionary.

- E396: whisky review 332 – Longmorn 30yo (Gordon & Macphail) — . . . a very substantial Independent bottling of a hard-to-find Speyside classic by the name of Longmorn, the blenders must-have malt.

- E407: whisky review 342 – Dalmore 21yo (Signatory) — . . . not an official bottling of Dalmore, this Independent bottling is non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured and cask strength, so it's just more naturally presented than standard

- E420: whisky review 354 – Imperial single malt (D.T. 19yo @ 53.1%) (2013-04-07) — . . . rarer than Port Ellen, more obscure than Scapa, more 'mothballed' than producing, this is Scotland's most elusive producing Distillery.
